Dare I say it was quite badly managed and underwhelming. I walked in and just saw a guy who seemed to be in charge grabbing items off someone's arms saying 'no, not for sale; not that either; not those'. Why not mark things that are not on sale; or even better not have them on display. I was put off by the poor attitude. Popular though so hope they sold the stuff they wanted.

I'd love it if it was Ottolenghi, they do the most divine salads and cakes. :)

it would hardly be an Ottolenghi if there's any truth in the 'modern english restaurant' rumour.


I can see it now....'The East Dulwich Chop House' 'The East Dulwich Oyster Bar & Grill' 'ED Brasserie/Bistro/Kitchen+whatever' etc etc. Complete with quintessentially english, no-nonsense menu of faggots, game, ox cheeks, rhubarb jelly & crumble.

the modern english "rumour" was something I posted, heaving been minsinformed by one of the painters. I was later told by the owner (and our new next door neighbour) that it would be a "modern" menu. presumably a new chef's take. must say, I am looking forward to finding out.

That sounds fantastic - hope you're right! I've been really missing Green and Blue since it closed.

G&B was really good for a number of years, but I walked out of there twice in its final 12 months as they had nothing on their 'improved' and later 'expanded' menus to tempt me with. I hope the new place offers something different and doesnt make the same mistakes its predecessor did.

I haven't been on here for a year or two, but thrilled to see "Louisa" is still hammering away at this gag.

    • Sue, we are in a similar position - though not quite as ancient as you! 🤣 Ours is a 21 year old Honda Civic.  Reliable as hell, IS ULEZ compliant, passes all the tests, MOTS etc.  BUT, as it sits on the drive most of the time, is now as dead as a doornail to the extent that we can no longer open it with the fob, though we are able to open the passenger door only, with the key.  Jump leads didn't work, so hubby bought a "starter" similar to what breakdown companies use.  Nowt.  Hubby then called out the AA who were able to start it via their van.  However, the AA advised leaving the car running for at least an hour and a half.  We decided not to do that as the fumes would be unpleasant for us and our neighbours.  They also informed us that unless we replaced the battery, we would not be able to call them out again.  Long story short, once we turned the engine off it wouldn't re-start.  So, hubby has now bought a trickle charger from Argos (roughly £35 and AA approved).  Apparently it could take up to 100 hours to charge and given that we don't want to leave it charging overnight or in the rain, it will be a while before we will know whether this has solved the issue.  So, watch this space! I am hoping this £35 will be a good investment.
    • The coop of Forest Hill Road is very different- cheerful and helpful staff 
    • Would you expose your young people to 'that man'? That is apparently a real question. 'That man' is in fact a retired Oxford Professor of Moral & Pastoral Theology who wrote a book setting out to provide a moral reckoning on the vexed subject of Britain's Empire and its history. What might formerly have been a purely academic matter has become highly contentious, and according to one Cambridge academic "serious shit" that needed to be CLOSED DOWN. It's all rather amazing, the stuff of satire or nightmare but not of the real world. Anyway, Lord Biggar accepted an invitation to visit Peckham and speak to and with a small audience that was due to include young Black students ... who in the end didn't come on the day! Having set the whole thing up to facilitate this encounter for them, the outcome was a disappointment. The conversation with Lord Biggar and audience was not:
